arf20

Hello there, I'm arf20, a 18 y/o bi femboy student from Spain obsessed with technology, hardware and software.

My passions and hobbies are: Linux, systems programming, servers (hardware and administration), networking, electronics (analog, digital and radiofrequency), and retrocomputing. I mostly find expensive professional technology super fascinating.

I really align myself with Free (as in Freedom!) and Open Source and Right to Repair movements, trying to use free software wherever I can. My favorite distro is Debian and I run it everywhere but my phone.

I'm currently studying Computer Science at Universidad de Murcia since 2023, first year. I think this is my place tbh, nice people, great projects.

Technologies

Pretty fluent in C/C++, MIPS, Z80 and x86 assembly, some Java too. I usually use CMake or Make as build systems. In terms of web, I know PHP, SQL, HTML, CSS and a bit of JS. Good use of Git version control.

I'm knoledgeable in system administration of Web hosts using the linux/nginx/mariadb stack, email with postfix/dovecot and a number of others. I am familiar with Proxmox virtualization as well as linux containers, systemd and general linux administration but also *BSD and Solaris.

About network administration, I'm ok at OPNSense/pfSense firewalling, segregation, VLANs, tunnels, VPNs, etc.

Hardware-wise, I've come knees deep with DELL R-series server hardware and its management, and of course a fair bit of PC building. In terms of networking, Mikrotik, Cisco and DELL PowerConnect I experienced.

Misc

I am a native Spanish speaker, and I've been told I'm pretty good at English too, although oficially I currently only hold a B2 by OIE.

Random things I have are, HE IPv6 Certification, CEPT Radioamateur License (EA5JGX), ARPA membership on SDF, and interestingly Galileo Mastermind prize and HackUPC 2024.
